Wisconsin Nursing Degree Search

Although it seems as though the nation’s entire health care system is doomed to fail from the current nursing shortage we’re all experiencing, there’s light at the end of the tunnel — even in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin needs approximately 2,500 new nurses a year if it’s going to meet the predicted demand for health care in the coming years. If it can’t meet this demand, veteran nurses will have to postpone retirement plans and nurses who have already retired, but returned to work because of the economy, will have to continue working.

An unfortunate reality is that workforce won’t be enough to meet requirements by 2012 or 2014. By that time, the state will need thousands more nurses to meet adequate health care requirements — 10,000 nurses, in fact.

As you might guess, the magnitude of this shortage is profound. With an aging patient base and aging nursing workforce, the state’s quality of health care is severely affected in both the short and long term. On one hand, there aren’t enough nurses as it is. On the other hand, there won’t be enough nurses available when veteran nurses retire and the state’s aging population explodes to historic levels.

Plain and simple, Wisconsin needs you and it needs you now. Enroll in an online nursing program today and become a much needed BSN clinical nurse specialist, home health nurse, nurse anesthetist, nurse educator, nurse practitioner, or nurse-midwife.

Number of Wisconsin nursing jobs today: 45,373 RPNs
43,956 RPNs will be needed by Wisconsin by 2015
